Timmah!

Welcome back Worcestershire!! (Pronounced "Wooster")

The pedal width sufficiently accommodates my U.S. size 11 foot.

No, I don't need to lift my hand to press the space bar upon which my thumb is already resting. Auto hopping would be predictable & therefore counterproductive. I time my tactical leaping according to my surroundings & the context of each individual situation.

The default: space bar

Those have inferior optical sensors, I ordered pedals with mechanical switches.

They have single-pedal controllers, too. https://a.co/d/1MhqSfq

I don't wear shoes in my home; they absolutely come off at the front door. Never understood people that drag filth from the streets & track it throughout their living quarters. I see the picture of the review where the numbskull is wearing work boots to use the pedal & complains of difficulties. Obviously not an industrial piece of equipment, which seems to be the case considering the concrete floor in the picture. I'm pretty confident the ball of one's bare foot will more than suffice.

Only difference will be that I map the pedal to pressing my mouse wheel instead of moving my index finger to do it & accidentally rolling the mouse wheel instead, resulting in intended customer getting an emp to the back instead of kabar, turning around & shooting me in these misadventures.

No more accidentally throwing an emp into someone's ass when I'm intending to shank them!! As an added bonus, no need to move my fingers from the directional keys or mouse. iKKEGOL Upgraded USB Double Pedal Assembly 2 Foot Switch Control 2 Key Button Footswitch Program Video Game Customized PC Keyboard Mouse Multimedia Action HID (Black) https://a.co/d/6pBY2cr

Man, that beast turned into a violent wedge so quickly!! On bad weather days, I watch Ryan Hall Y'all on YouTube. He live streams with meteorologists & storm chasers for over 12 hours straight if needed, & gets warnings out faster than any weather station or service. His main meteorologist- Andy Hall- analyzes & explains radar signatures along storm fronts the whole duration, & consistently anticipates & issues severe thunderstorm & tornado warnings to the audience before the National Weather Service. It's truly uncanny. His team also helps with disaster relief assistance through his nonprofit before FEMA arrives.

Nice advice

Safe travels!

I was noticing that, too as I watch some of my older posted videos.

Ovens are often inaccurate by as much as 60 degrees, so a probe suspended in the oven really helps dial-in & monitor the temperature; I've also noticed that as it cycles on & off, the temp can swing as much as 50°F above & below the setpoint. This doesn't matter so much with something like a pork shoulder, but when baking a cheesecake or something where the temp needs to be consistent, the probe in the oven helps immensely. Another probe inserted in whatever meat, cake etc, really teaches you what a done item looks like & how often its unnecessarily overcooked. It's a reasonably inexpensive piece of equipment, so for $20 you can elevate your food from just ok to excellent. You put all that work into preparing a food, you deserve the best results for you efforts.

Right on. I used a ThermoPro dual probe to calibrate the oven & monitor the internal temperature. Glad you liked the photos. It did turn out nicely & tasted sufficiently good, although it'd been even nicer if part of its journey would've included a smoker. Was just curious how long it takes without a crutch vs cooking the whole time wrapped.

Lots of meat for birria, pulled pork... Always freeze extras for quick protein portions of meals.

9 lb. Boston Butt, foil wrapped & baked at 275°F for 15 hours. 210°F final internal temperature. Fall-apart yum-yummeh.

I'm just glad to see you didn't get electrocuted!

Just put a lawn chair in that shower, lay back & let it rain down. Like the color scheme.

I simply baked the shoulder in the oven. I do have a crock pot & a pressure cooker. Also have a couple old-school Poppery 2 air popcorn poppers for roasting coffee in small batches. My 3 favorite & most used tools are ThermoPro dual probe thermometer, a laser thermometer & an Ozeri digital kitchen scale for weighing ingredients. When you have a cut of whole meat, most all bacteria are on the surface, not inside; so as long as you get the surface up to safe temps, there's no particular rush to get the inside done. Why'd you think there was a special gadget needed for slow cooking a piece of meat? BTU's are BTU's regardless of the device...

Made coleslaw & mac 'n cheese. Portioned extra into 8oz servings in zip lock bags. Will probably make tacos with some next week.
